I am now laying them flat between some foam and hoping that this will work as I am sure it is going into the wax that makes the leaflet curl They look fine as they come out of the last xylene before entering the wax. Can one get wax that has a lower melting point than 55C Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm just curious why you would have both? As to your question, if you have some validation process occurring at grossing that requires information from your Copath system, then perhaps you might want to use Copath at grossing. For instance, if you scan requisitions or manual drawings or anything of that nature and you require those scanned images or other information to be verified at grossing, you might want to use Copath for grossing IF that information is not being sent across the interface from Copath to Vantage. I hope Im making sense, but if not, please feel free to ask for clarification.

That is, you cannot enter a block or stain order in the third party system and have the data be written back to the Copath database. You must enter all in Copath and then the third party system picks it up from there. That is why Copath was telling Anita that they would need to use Copath alone at grossing (and accessioning, and all stain ordering). Also, You must buy and install AB&T to use any third party tracking system (AB&T is the HL7 interface).
